BORA GULARI (USA)
| Nomination |
Attention to detail was
a major contributing
factor when Bora
Gulari won his second
Moth world title in Hawaii last
month… that and some brilliantly
consistent sailing in challenging
tactical conditions. Gulari was so
determined to ensure every element
of his Mach 2 Moth was as low drag
as was humanly possible that he
bought a 3D printer in order to make
a multitude of slinky micro fairings
